Do I Need Help Healing? Exploring the Journey of Self Discovery and Growth to Therapy and Support for Our Mental Health Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

There’s a big question that many people ask themselves: do I need help healing? Do I need therapy, a coach, a massage therapist, meds, or a support group? These are difficult questions to answer because of the word "need." In actuality, all we really need is air to breathe, water to hydrate, food, shelter, and some touch. A better question to ask is, am I surviving or thriving? This question has a completely different vibration that opens up the possibility of evaluating where we are on our journey and what kind of help we may want to bring in. Do you struggle with asking for help? Learn how shifting your focus from "need" to "choice" empowers you to embrace available support and thrive. In this episode, I discuss the value of therapy in overcoming hyper-independence, understanding self-worth, and setting boundaries. Discover how therapy helps highly sensitive people (HSPs) navigate mental health challenges and build self-reliance, ensuring you avoid abusive relationships and trust yourself to make healthy decisions.

How Therapists Can Support Highly Sensitive Clients During Emotional Outbursts Apr 09, 2023

Show notes

Today I reflect on why we use the term "rude awakening" and how it relates to self-development and mental health. As someone who teaches and practices self-development and spiritual betterment, I can attest that my own awakenings have felt rude. Awakenings are not just one singular moment of realization but rather a series of uncomfortable layers that we expand upon. We resist change, and our ego fights against the new knowledge that comes with an awakening. I share my personal experiences with rude awakenings, the hard work that is therapy, and how to embrace the discomfort of what's coming. We must be open to change, accept that we can only change ourselves, and be kind to ourselves during the process. Ultimately, when we know better, we can do better. Struggling with emotional outbursts in therapy? These episodes often stem from deep-seated emotional pain and can be particularly challenging for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). I discuss how to handle client aggression with empathy, set clear boundaries, and use mindfulness to manage emotional triggers. Healing the inner child is key to overcoming these challenges and improving mental health. Learn practical strategies to foster a compassionate therapeutic environment and support clients on their path to wellness.

Compassionate Conversations on Abortion: A Journey Through Mixed Messages, Tribalism, and Critical Thinking Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

I learned about abortion through my experience of growing up in a Catholic society in New Orleans and listening to the conversations around me. Abortion is a complex issue that should be approached with an open mind and an open heart. People must be cautious of making assumptions and oversimplifying the issue, as well as falling into the "tribalism" of choosing one side or the other. It is important to explore all options without feeling pressure or shame and become your own authority figure. Cancel culture and media can lead to a heightened sense of fear and shame when discussing controversial topics, and it is important to be aware of psychological manipulation. It is important to evaluate what has been taught to us and make decisions based on our own mental health. How can HSPs maintain their mental health in a world dominated by cancel culture and tribalism? Join me as I discusses the importance of empathy and compassion in decision-making. This episode offers practical advice for overcoming fear and shame, helping Highly Sensitive People make informed, grounded choices. Learn why prioritizing quality of life is crucial for your mental health and discover strategies to navigate complex issues with nuance and understanding.

"We need to be able to evaluate things from our minds, our hearts, our intuitions. We need to be able to listen to people, share their stories and listen from all of those parts with discernment."

In this episode, I discuss:

1. How does the internet and social media play a role in creating assumptions about people?

2. What are the dangers of succumbing to tribalism and cancel culture?

3. How can we navigate complex topics such as abortion with an open mind and heart?
